Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro y San Alfonso

Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro y San Alfonso, Roman Catholic church in Bella Vista, Montevideo, Uruguay.

Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro y San Alfonso is a Neo-Romanesque church built from 1896 to 1899, inspired by a church in Aachen. Its interior decoration, completed in six months by four German artists from Aachen, was praised as the most beautiful among Uruguayan temples for its magnificence and severe taste. The church holds a Walcker organ from 1927.

Construction took place between 1896 and 1899 based on designs inspired by a German religious building in Aachen. The completion of this structure reflected the city's growing religious infrastructure during its period of expansion.

The church is popularly called Iglesia de Tapes after Tapes Street, where it stands at number 956. Its dedication is to Our Lady of Perpetual Help and Saint Alphonsus. On 28 June 1921 the poet Juana de Ibarbourou married there, with Juan Zorrilla de San Martín and María Carmen Izcua as godparents.

The church is located on Tapes Street in the Bella Vista neighborhood and is easily recognizable from the street. Regular religious services take place throughout the week, which is when the interior is most actively used and accessible.

A Walcker organ from 1927 sits inside the church, a German-made instrument that fills the space with rich sound during religious ceremonies. This particular organ represents a notable musical asset from that era of the church's development.
